I’ve recently started drinking and making milk and water kefir. I’ve made yogurt for years.
I’ve had cancer where I had surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The cancer died, and I was left with gut issues.
This next part isn’t for everyone, so .. I was left with a very slow moving gut. Loads of laxatives were a way of life. During Covid-19, I tried milk kefir. I pooped like a normal person the day after I had kefir BEFORE I had my laxatives!! Water kefir does the same. I haven’t had to use a laxative since!
There are other good things , but this for me is amazing!
Sorry for the gross stuff.
@Bunny Dannels. Wishing you full recovery and all blessings.
No sorry needed, thank you for the feedback on your personal experience😊
No Gross stuff , this is our body and health we’re talking about :’) no shame in striving and helping others to be healthy
Wishing you a full recovery
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Much appreciated and great value.
I really appreciate all of your videos which are very comprehensive and to the point, thank you for the good work Dr. Eric !
When I started drinking raw milk kefir, I noticed many effects (consistent energy, happier, no pms, but the strangest one was I forgot all about the chocolate in the cupboard.
How much quantity you eat kefir and what time is best to consume thanks
@@adeelmehmood7439 You can start with as little as a spoonful a day. Some are sensitive to its healthfulness. Others can do it by the cupful right off the bat.
Since it provides us tryptophan which helps us make more serotonin and sleep better, before bed is perfect. But really, anytime of day is great! (I first started using it to cure my feral-born cat's death-smelling gingivitis, and fell in love with it just by licking the spoon! I got lazy after I thought she was long cured, but after a year without, she suddenly lost a tooth! She has a serious heart-valve defect, so I'm afraid to take her to the vet cuz they might stop her heart again. I will keep her on it for the rest of her minus-one-fang life!)
I love making an amazing Keto-friendly mango kefir lassi: just a cup of kefir, half a mango, a Tablespoon or 3 of chia seed, some cardamom to taste, and sweetened with magical allulose which blocks our metabolism from storing fructose as fat! (stevia or inulin would also be good sweetener choices but won't block the fructose for keto/low carb.) Be sure to let the chia soak 5-20 minutes in the kefir to thicken it up nicely. Yum!
If you like it, (seriously, try my lassi!) get some kefir milk 'grains' online or in some healthfood stores. it's way cheaper to make yourself with whole milk, but you need to keep making it at least every other day or so, since they are living critters that have to eat. You can also learn how to store them, for vacations, but that almost seems like more work and I am supremely lazy. Lol.
Good luck!
I'm just chugging down some raw milk kefir as i type. It's wonderfull stuff and super tasty.
i did even more than that raw yogurtoKefir and LOTS OF FIBERS , my body was like on drugs
Agreed off chocolate
i even had Agrophobia because of H-Pylori because i was afraid of Panic attack in the middle of something. But 1 day of using Kefir i went outside at evening for a walk and i was nervous but it did not effect my gut or i did not felt sick when it happened and then i gained a lot of confidence. cant believe i got out of home after a whole year.
Awesome brother
Hows ur condition now
Glade to hear that dude, how’s everything working out for you?
It helped me too, when I get anxious my stomach gets very upset , i had agoraphobia for one month without going out of the house, what helped was to do it against my will, and go outdoors for at least 3 hours every day to ride my bike and to get sun on the beach, now it's winter and it's so cold to ride bike around i have to buy proper clothes for riding bike on the winter, but kefir helped me i used to feel sick and nauseated when anxious not anymore
@@Mary-zo4rx I have similar problem. Just bought kefir. Will see what happens. I drank half glass before bed last night and woke up after 3 hours and was wide awake for several hours but no anxiety or panic this time. Weird!
You're a good man Dr. Berg. Thanks for the valuable info!
excellent explanation
Love your videos!...been making my own kefir about a week and my gut feels much better!
Eric, thank you for being so explicit with your explanations ,and as such easily understood and appreciated by intelligent people, and people who are in REAL need , it helps us a lot. thank you again from my heart...
Great info....Thanks Dr. Berg:)
Thank you so much Dr.Berg!
Tremendously important information for people who are unfamiliar with Kefir! Simple, clever and deep enough for a short video!
Hi dr. Berg..
Is kefir milk safe during pregnancy??
I've been drinking a glass of kefir milk almost daily for many years, either at breakfast or sometimes before bed. I love the sour taste. It's so refreshing
Have you noticed any benefits. Is there anything height related
I want to know this too@@Yash-Gaikwad
@@Yash-Gaikwadheight related?? I'm 5' tall....is this the height thing you're talking about?
@@jeanpaultongeren125height related? I'm 5' tall, is this the height thing you are talking about??
Thank you Dr.Berg you are such a blessing .U help us all so much.Thank you I always share ur videos.You are gold.
Highly valuable video on the difference between these two foods.
Dr berg you are a blessing to community. I just love your videos, so informative 👍
Great video Dr Berg. You are such a great teacher and always find a way to get the main points across in such a way that I can understand them. I was wondering if you could do a video on what to do if you are living with congestive heart failure and diastolic heart disfunction/failure-- where the fluid keeps building up around the heart and the person has to go get IV meds to slowly get it to drain. How to treat it naturally with diet and what supplementation would be good to use would be great to know. Thanks. You are a blessing to our household.
Hi Dr.Berg, when is the best time to drink milk kefir when on keto and IF?
Hope that you can make more videos on kefir on how it relates to keto diet and IF.
Thanks!
So interesting and informative thank you so much 😊
Thank you for clarity.!!
Thank you Eric for this info .I have always thought that yogurt was doing what you said Kefir is doing . So you have put me straight on this ,thank you. I wish I could find someone like you in sydney where I come from.....
This is very interesting. I started learning about probiotics when my grandmother contracted c. diff. in the hospital. No one warned me that this could happen, yet they knew immediately when it happened. Pet peeve about hospitals -- they seem to give people a lot of infections you don't get at home. My Grandma would not have drunk kefir if she had known what it was, but I could add a small amount to milk and get her to drink it that way. I don't think she would have survived that c. diff. if not for being able to give her kefir and other probiotics.
What is C dif.?
I'm currently going through that right now. Did you make your own kefir or store bought? Also did you us diary or non diary.
Hospitals breed superbugs, almost a hundred thousand deaths a year from health care associated infections in u.s alone. Thats great u were able to help your Gran get some more time in this life
C-diff is a bacterial infection in the intestine. It is a horrible thing to go through. I had surgery on my lower intestine which caused bad bacteria to take over because of the heavy duty antibiotics I was on. Took about 4 months to get over it by eating sauerkraut, plain Greek yogurt & washing my house down with bleach water. You can die from it since it hits you with about 15 bouts of horrible diarrhea daily. That was 4 yrs ago & I have recovered since my primary doctor was right in it when I got out of the hospital. Fantastic to be over it.
Why is your grandma so stubborn
Hi Doctor Berg.. thank you for your amazing tips.
After watching this video watched some other vids on youtube about Kefir and then googled some stuff on it. Eventually found a farm that selled RAW GOAT KEFIR and so I tried it. Tastes just like milk and yogurt but I guess its so good for you. I'm glad I tried it and will probably be buying weekly from this local farm!
ModernRider I’ve been looking for raw goat milk kefir, but I can’t find it!! Even a goat farm near me has goat milk but not raw and no kefir! What state are you??
@@youtubegirl173
Damn wish I could find that stuff in Australia, raw milk is really hard to come by.
I think kefir made by any grains? Thanks
Kefir is a staple food in Russia, when you're broke you drink kefir, it's considered boring and lame lol. Who knew it's actually an awesome superfood. It's pronounced kay-feer by the way
Kristina S. Thats crazy! Its sad how healthy foods are seen as boring foods by most people!
kefir is from africa, from europe, from 'merica... Kefir is just randomly "fermented milk" ( not really but somewhat true) people drink it everywhere from ancient times
@@slowfall8957 Kefir is from EVERYWHERE that milk is made ... it is a byproduct of the effect of local biomes on a fermentable product, and it will happen all on its own unless steps are taken to prevent it. A notable region you omit, for example, is mongolia, where raw mares milk was allowed to ferment and was consumed on a daily basis. They didnt call it kefir, but that is essentially what it was, albeit from horse milk.
yoruel sanguillen it tastes like yoghurt...that’s pretty boring
@@christianlee8558 The flavor is more complex, and tart, than yogurt, and the texture is different too ... it is literally impossible not to notice you are drinking something biologically active. The people who tend confuse them are the infrequent and indifferent consumers who've only had the bland stabilized examples typically found in supermarkets, and have never tasted the real thing mych less made i themselves.
Homemade kefir is VERY noticeably different from store versions, nearly all of which are likely diluted connercial yogurt.
Hello Dr. Berg. Could you do another video on kefir milk? Like how much does carbs does a cup of kefir milk (full fat milk fermented for 24 hours) have?
Doctor I have a question. Would homemade yogurt with no sugar added be okay for keto diet?
Thanks Doc. I love your vids. I thought Kefer was much higher in sugar than yogurt. Would you take Kefer every day? What's your thought? Thank you.
David
Hi Doctor Berg.. thank you for your amazing tips, they really work!
Let me just ask you a question.. Do lemon juice and Kefir affect ketosis?
Thank you in advance
No they don’t. Kefir has no lactose. You can check Dr Berg’s other videos for lemon, it’s keto safe.
@@wanazriq670 thanks that’s all I need to know.If it fits in keto diet that’s good enough for me.I add a few berries in the second fermentation- lovely
I found there is 2 kinds of kefir, one from fruits and the other from milk, would you please tell us which one is good? are they the same? I have the fruit type which I prepare and it gets ready in 2 days. Please is this as good as the one you talked about in this video? Thank you doctor!
Thank you so much Eric. I’ve just started having kefir after watching you video after years of having yogurt. I will look forward for results. Particularly to help with my broken sleep patterns I’ve been having for awhile.and unfriendly candida yeast as well.
Thanks for this informative video. What about lassis?
I would add that it turns a healthy amount of lactose into lactic acid, which is naturally relevant for people with lactose intolerance and, just as you said, is easier to digest than yogurt.
I started making Kefir at home about a week ago. On day three I was already enjoying homemade Kefir made from organic whole milk. I’ve never had it before but wanted the health benefits of it….but made at home. I’ve had it in my diet for 4-5 days now and I know it is helping me in several areas. I’m so thankful for helpful information!
Also, thank you Dr.Berg for you Cortisol & Adrenal Fatigue supplement! I ordered my first bottle after watching your adrenal fatigue video. Between the Kefir, the adrenal supplement and my daily vitamins (mega food vitamins) WOW! I have energy and I stay with a calmer attitude throughout the day. 🙏
In what areas did it help you ?
Wonderful! Love your videos
Hi dr berg. Thanks for the video.What about curd? Can we snack on it and what is the best time for taking curd?
k2 vitamin as well and is a "fermented food"
we love what is called "suzma" in my country... it is when you draw out the whey from kefir by using thick fabric hung with kefir inside. Similar to ricotta but sour since it is fermented and more smooth in texture. Then we can do balls from it and dry them , we eat those ball with beer , but here it is not the case
What's your take on water kefir? Since we ferment it in sugar water, is it not advisable for people in keto?
When and how much Kefir can be consumed on a ketogenic diet/lifestyle? Thank you
Been making raw milk keifer. I add back some collostrum powder a small amount and probiotics gently blend low cycle keep on fermenting the kiefer 5 hours more. then in the fridge I take with a 3 drops of vit D with k2. Thanks for sharing why I had such a reaction the first time around in my gut was cleaning house.
I am buying organic kefir at the local grocery, and I like how it tastes. It's the first thing I have in the morning, and I have small amounts all through the day.
I have a question, I hope you can help. I’m trying to reverse my type 2 diabetes with proper diet and exercise. So far I’m doing really good, but have a ways to go. I’ve been following you for a while and have learned so much from your videos. I would love to know your take on L. Reuteri yogurt and it’s effects on type 2 diabetes. As far as I can tell none of the keto doctors are talking about it. 🌸
Very helpful vblog Dr. Berg!
What about Bulgarian yogurt? It has a ton of different proboitic strains.
Thank you Dr.Berg, I am following a ketogenic diet and restricted myself to 25 grams carbs, how many carbs in whole milk kefir per cub? Can i drink a cup daily
When is the best time to have kefir?
Hi. Thank you. I am wondering which kefir is good. Do you know which tipe of bacteria good kefir has? I want to do kefir at home. Thank you
Thank you for the informative video! You explained everything very well! :)
A small animation of the bacteria (and what types they are) settling in the gut would be a helpful visual aid to take the point home but the vid is good as is :)
Take care
Any good about it
It's a great video... Until the end. When I started drinking homemade milk kefir it took me less than 9 days to realize I wasn't taking the prescription allergy decongestant that I've been dependent on for 20 years. That was 11 years ago and even though there are times when I haven't made it, I've never regressed to needing the allergy medicine. I'm not a doctor, so this is an advice, it's my own experience. A friend I gave grains to came to me 6 weeks later and was happy to show me new hair growth in his bald spot. It never filled in completely, yet enough that it made him feel better.
I hope I get more hair
Amazing
Where can I find this product is it Milk? Please sambory help me out thanks.
@@maryalexis1363 You can probably find it at a health food store.
@@maxsmart9116 thanks very much.
what about Ayran? what's the difference between ayran, yogurt and kefir? I like them all but would like to know the difference and benefits of them.
Would you say its better to drink in the morning or evening?
Does this work the same with non-dairy kefirs? I am allergic to dairy and started drinking coconut kefir. I hope it had the same effect. I love the taste too
Literally looking at coconut kefir now and came to vid to see if it works for non-dairy 😂
i hope you will make a video 'how to make kefir' in the next video
Lol There are millions of pages on how to make kefir.
Thanks , really nice information, Blessings
Really interesting video! I have a question. I have been making yoghurt for about 30 years. It is part of my daily/weekly routine. (There is no added sugar, as I make it I know exactly what goes in). If I go on holiday and can't get *my yoghurt* I really miss it. Now I've started to make kefir and I'm getting used to that routine also. But I am a busy person and I am wondering is there any benefit at all in continuing to make yoghurt if I am also taking my daily kefir? Because if not, then I can just quit with the yoghurt-making. But I am so accustomed to making yoghurt that I would continue if there is any health benefit. Is there?
Making my first batch of Kefir can't wait to give this to my family💙
go for keffir
Try researching a Swedish product called Filmjölk. Fermented milk similar to Kefir.
Has a video on everything I search I love and trust his videos just the info I need gby 🙏🏽❤️
Great explanation. Thank you!
Right on! Thanks for the feedback!
Kefir changed my life. I have it everyday.
Regular milk or plant based milk ?
@@lovingatlanta these are all store bought kefir? They pale in comparison to making your own at home with the grains. And, if you have raw milk available your kefir will be one of the most nourishing foods you could consume. 😁👍
Jenny D - Can you explain the differences between store-bought and homemade ?
@@PeaceNinja007 Store bought is overly processed and is empty of most things nutritional, and would have stuff your body doesn't need . Homemade is just the opposite, its a bio-warehouse.
Tiger In the Desert - Interesting ... very interesting 🤔
I've recently gotten into making my own kefir. I've gotten into the groove of getting a lovely, thick and smooth consistency like drinking yoghurt.
I ve also made kefir cheese and it is DELICIOUS. I added some Chilli flakes and it is divine on roast veggies
I've been making kefir too. Please can i have your cheese recipe?
@@vesselfit2use Ferment and strain out the grains as normal. Then I add 1L of cream and (depending on ambient temperature) I leave the 2nd ferment for up to 4 days until the curds and whey are nicely separated. A note here - if you use milk, it will turn out a bit sweeter. If you use cream, it will be more sour, but also much richer flavour.
Then I scoop out most of the curds and strain out the whey. I keep the whey to add to smoothies and put on my dogs' food.
The curds then go into some cheesecloth in a strainer. I make sure the curds are fully covered, stick a 500g weight on top and then let more whey drain out in the fridge for 24h (this extra time to strain AND adding the weight makes the cheese stiffer and less prone to becoming "watery").
Then I plop out the cream cheese into a sealable container and season it. Leave it for a couple days so that the season can draw into the cheese. Usually 2-4 days.
The cream cheese REALLY pulls in flavour, so be careful with the amounts you use. I love garlic, so I added a heaping tablespoon. It infused very well. Goes lovely on potatoes and roast veg.
My other favourite flavouring was a hint of italian herbs and crushed chilies. The chili flavour REALLY pulls into the cheese, so be careful with that :D Gotta be careful with the herbs as well; some infuse very well and can totally overwhelm the taste.
It can last a couple weeks in the fridge if you decant it into a clean container every couple days. I change to a new container once a week. One batch lasts me about a month.
@@bronwynreijnders7205 Thank you so much!!! I seriously appreciate it! I screenshoted the recipe. God bless you! 💖
@@vesselfit2use It's a pleasure :) you can play around with times and flavours to find what works for you. I just made a fresh batch!
@@bronwynreijnders7205 so amazing I can't wait to try! Thanks again.
Please do a video about toddler nutritions and supplements.
Hi Dr. Berg,
Can you make an update video on Kefir- water based(sugar) and milk based (yogurt). Also, steps on how you would ferment and drink it your self! Thank you, BTW your awesome.
You and keto have changed my life, helping to manage carcinoid syndrome. please tell me the kefir macros for keto, how many carbs? sugar? thanks
There is no way of knowing the exact macro, because it's homemade and even the slightest difference in conditions can and will change the macros. I found a comment that someone stated that if you second ferment, it is around 4g carbs, so they count it as that. My next batch in the morning is going to be set up for a second ferment.
Jennifer Sheldon how would it have so many carbs when it feeds off the sugars in the milk, especially after 2nd ferments.I use full fat Jersey milk which has a lot of cream. I count mine as 1 carb after 2nd ferment
Thank you so much for all your interesting considerations about nutrition : it helps me a lot in understanding what I can do to help improve my chronique fatigue condition (with yeast problem in my digestive tract, and frequent episodes of depression). I'm about to start a kefir journey, and I would like to know the type of bacteria there are in kefir. My wish is to get a good source of lactobacillus and bifidobacterium : they are key elements to fight depression as well as dysbiosis. I have started some vegetable lacto-fermentation, but I would like to give kefir a try ! Thank you so much in advance.
One online shop i was looking at buying grains from said their grains come from multiple sources, so it has lots of diversity. I thought that was a good i dea, introduce a bit of grains from other sources to every now and then to your existing grains, when u get some
Is homemade kefir ok for keto?
Thank you my friend, everyday I learning from you.
I make my own at home and I consume it a week after second fermentation it becomes more sour and acidic which is more healthy.
Kefir is amazing 💯
How do you make it? Grains or starter? How do you do a 2nd ferment? Thanks
I am doing that as well, after listening to Dr. Berg.. I was able to find the milk Bulgarians (microorganisms) thru a friend of mine. But, let me tell you.. it's a little more work to my daily routine. Daily maintenance but I feel amazing!! My morning gases stopped 😝, the cravings are gone and I am loosing weight!!!. I love❤️ them!!!
Yes ,please share how you make your own.
It would be very interesting !!🤔 😀..
@@nmerchant79 I saw that too yes how do you make a second ferment?
Hi Dr. Berg! Question. Is Kefir high in carb and sugar and will it work with my keto diet? If so, how much should I be taking a day to stay in ketosis? I have a raw kefir with no added sugars or anything.
Kefir has 4% net carb so a typical glass of 300ml (around 300g) is only about 12g carb.
solid info as usual. thanks doc!
My pleasure!
This is great! Can I drink kefir on keto diet if so how much? ❤
Hello Dr. Berg, I would like to know how much kefir per day do we have to drink? I've seen a lot of videos about the benefits of it, but no one talks about the recommended amount of kefir we should drink on a daily basis. Thanks a lot!
I drink 1 cup.
A medium size glass or teacup will suffice
Did work for me and my SIBO. Buy Kefir grains and some full milk preferably organic. Yoghurt has 4-6 strings of bacteria, Kifer from a shop also has 4-6 stings and both are always the same strings. If you make your own Kefir it will contain 30-60 types of good bacteria !
Hello Dr Eric Berg I like your video and can you give me the information of where to get the original kefir. I used to have a big jar of kefir but I lost it long time ago and don't know where to get it.
Is milk Kefir okay for acid reflux ? If not are there any alternatives ?
Can I have a cup kefir and also a cup of bone broth in the same meal? I do OMAD and I'm trying to figure out the best way to incorporate kefir and bone broth into my diet
Dina Salinas Yes. Ideally, have the bone broth first to coat the gut lining, then 15-30 mins later, have the kefir.
I felt a yeast infection coming on and I had some kefir to break a fast (so on an empty stomach) and I felt better in like 40 mins. I was very impressed. I also felt my jaw unclenching which has been a problem for weeks. I'm gonna continue breaking a fast with it for now because it seems I need it !
Unflavored?
@@alexisstarr7825 Yes, that's what he said plain is always best. Flavoured always has added preservatives. The more simpler the foods the better! :)
love all the videos thank you so many times over for your time here. bonnie
Hi, my friend is taking Warfarin and was asking if Kefir has vitamin K, if so, is it allot and can it be safe for him to use Kefir?
Thanks...
Good video. I've been making my own Kefir from Organic Whole RAW Milk for over 2 years now. Really really good for your health. I use it to make a smoothie almost every morning for me and my wife. If you do consume it plain at night, it will relax you and help with sleep.
Please tell me a recipe. And what does "grains" mean? Like wheat and barley grains?
@@jsi4064 It is not actually a grain, it's just a special culture that cannot be made because it has unique bacteria. You have to get some, but once you have it, it will grow and reproduce.
There are lots of people selling starters if you dont know anyone currently using it.
@@frankplissken143 Thank you Frank. That was kind of you to reply. I have been watching all these YT recipes on "how to make homemade kefir". They are all just as uninformative as to where to get the original Kefir. They all say "So, to make your own Kefir, get some Kefir and drain it". I was like what, are you serious. Hehehehe. Anyway, thank you. Have a nice day
@@jsi4064
I've just received from Edsy, came with Kefir grains starter and the kids, free shipping and I started made it yesterday waiting for 24 hours to used it today. Can't waiting!
@@linhjahnke2111 wow, cool, thanks. Did you say it comes with kids? I love kids, but ahhhh, are they mandatory?
This is my first-time hearing and learning about Kefir.
Make it your own at home very easy, you will love it.
Good vid. Got to the point and easy to understand.
Glad you liked it.
Wonderful, doctor. Thank you once again.
Anytime!
Dr Berg. For keto diet, what do the macros look like for homemade milk kefir - whole milk, 2 ferments, plain no sweetener. If OK, how much and when do you recommend it be consumed?
Marlene Jackson I have several kefir groups on Facebook that am in and it has been said that 2nd fermented kefir has approximately 4 grams of carbs per cup. Of course with homemade kefir carbs may vary with each fermentation depending on the time fermented and the temperature of the room. I count mine as the 4 carbs per cup. Since kefir is so very good for you i feel like it is well worth the carbs.
@@tonnia62 this is exactly what I was looking for. I just started making kefir a couple of weeks ago. I've got my first kefir cheese going and tomorrow, instead of us drinking the kefir right away, I will second ferment it and continue to do this for now on. My grains are super happy and growing like crazy!
I’ve read that the fermentation process uses most of the 'sugars’-and therefore virtually zero carbs after 2nd ferments
Im on KETO and I make mine with Organic Half n Half and I do a 2 day fermentation
I noticed that most of the store-bought kefir have a lot of sugar. Which one do you recommend?
buy some kefir grains and make ur own kefir milk at home. one purchase would suffice u forever if taken care of. it's very easy to make. u can find recipes on TH-cam for kefir.
I took my first dose of kefir yesterday and have been in noticeable discomfort ever since. Intolerable gas and this morning I've been in the bathroom all morning. I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen. But I'm reluctant to consume anymore
Is kefir recommended for a keto diet?
Please do a video on water kefir Dr. Berg. I'm interested to know your thoughts.
Akuma yes plz do this
Does same thing but for those who can’t do milk or won’t do milk. Milk is better though
Nancy Fahey not heard that before, how can that happen unless you use fruit juice
This pronunciation is endorsed by Kiefer Sutherland. I always thought it was pronounced keh-FEAR, not KEY-fur.
Is it Gluten Free? Where to get the grains??
What food would you suggest after throwing up? And mainly food poisoning?
Thanks Dr. Berg. Very helpful. By the way, how would you compare kefir yogurt to regular and/or Greek yogurts?
Greek yoghurt doesn’t contain the kefir yeast cultures or whey and the store- bought is made of pasteurized milk and with added sugars and starches. Basically, eating overpriced ingredients with little value to add and a big marketing label.
What about water kefir? Obviously it's not going to have the same nutritional profile but would it still be a pretty decent nutrition supplement?
I am waiting for that answer too, since it's difficult for me to get that organic grass fed milk from those "almost" holy semi-god cows!
Just use regular whole fat milk and you'll be fine.
I am making it for a year now. Really love it. Just wanted to know is there any method to remove alcohol from the kefir without losing the kefir itself.
which brand is the best kefir to buy? all the kefir I find have a lot a sugar.
Hello Dr. Berg,
Thank you so much!
I found kefir grains not organic, would you recommend on consuming it ?
Thank you,
Check Donna Schwenk youtube . She show you , how to make kefir with your kefir grains .
I was having nerve twitching, I had 3 soup spoons of plain Greek yogurt and the twitching went away. I think I was low on calcium. Greek yogurt even plain taste awesome it has a rich fat texture, I love it:)))
Actually, you were likely low on magnesium
What do you think of alpro soy yoghurt simple and unsweetened? Good? Bad?
Hei,what type of bacteria and yeasts should be available in kefir? Can you suggest names of these?
